The Affordable Care Act

[BlueStreak]

The younger, healthier people need to shut up and pay in. The only way insurance of any type works is if everyone pays in. If only the old and sick pay in, the system fails.......

Oh, wait. That's right, it was failing.

I guess doing nothing would have been the smarter move?

I'm 67 and I've been a health insurance donor all my life.

Been lucky enough to be healthy so far.

Some day the tables might turn and then someone else may be paying for me.

That's the way insurance is supposed to work.

Are you reading this, Mike? He's right, you know. He's been paying for others his entire adult life and does NOT consider it theft.

Fancy that.

"On Wednesday, that talking point blew up.
Three of the country's largest insurers — Aetna, WellPoint, and Health Care Service Corp., which operates Blue Cross Blue Shield plans in several states — said between 80-90% of new customers who enrolled through Obamacare paid their first month's premiums. Executives from the companies announced the news in testimony before the very same House Committee on Energy and Commerce where Republicans touted the contrary data last week.
WellPoint said the number of customers who paid their premiums by the deadline was 90%. For Aetna, it was in the "low-to-mid 80s range." Health Care Service Corp. said their number was at least 83%."


What will Whelly do? Thanks Barbara.

Yup, it looks like they're well on their way through the stages of grief.

Since their Faux Noise driven talking points have blown up in their faces, not to mention the slobbering affair with a racist deadbeat, Cliven Bundy they've moved back to hamster wheel of BENGHAZI!!!!!! and screeching about the IRS doing their jobs. It's going to be a long, long hot summer for the reactionary right wingnuts.
